Staying at Acadia Yurts is a wonderful experience! You feel submerged in nature but are conveniently located to explore all of MDI. The hosts were wonderful to work with. We highly recommend!

If you're going to Acadia, this is a great alternative from the overcrowded frenzy of Bar Harbor, or the overpriced chain hotels/motels around Mount Desert Island. Located just outside Southwest Harbor, this is a quieter corner of MDI with a little village that has a few stores and restaurants (most close at 8pm, so we didn't get to take much advantage). It's about a 15 minute drive from Bass Harbor Light, and about 25 minutes from Bar Harbor, so keep that in mind when planning your visit. The yurt itself is terrific! Solidly built, with a concrete floor and wood roof ribs, it was remarkably spacious and had all the conveniences of home: modern bath, kitchen, queen bed, couch, and dining table (no TV, which we didn't miss at all.) We stayed in the Beech Mtn yurt, which was set back from the circular drive, offering a bit more privacy than the other yurts. Most nights, we had a good nights sleep, but there was a rain storm on our final night, which was loud: a reminder that you're staying in a tent, not a solid structure. Also, there is a skylight/oculus centered on the roof, so the light comes streaming in the morning (when we were there, sunrise was at 445am). The hosts do provide eyeshades and earplugs, which do an ok job, but if you're a light sleeper, it might be a challenge to sleep straight through. Overall, we loved our experience, and would highly recommend to others looking to have a true outdoors stay in one of the most beautiful corners of the northeast.

Wonderful location. Charming and super clean yurt and camp area. Hosts are really on it. If only it was possible to have a local vs group campfire it would have been perfectly perfect.

The yurts are extremely clean and cozy. We had everything we needed and loved waking up to the view of trees and sky in our skylight. It is so quiet and peaceful, no noisy campers everyone is respectful of the peaceful wooded location.

The yurt was the perfect place to stay to explore Acadia National Park. The yurt is large and open and airy, when I looked at the photos I assumed they were taken with a wide angle lens and it was actually much smaller, but it really was quite spacious. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed to cook our own meals. The lending library in the little barn was a really nice touch, we borrowed a guidebook and some spices for cooking. We weren’t there long enough to need the washer and dryer, or for any campfires, but it was nice to have those options. Aaron and Karen were really helpful, everything went smoothly, and we have already recommended Acadia Yurts to friends and family.

My husband and I have been to Acadia Yurts 3 different years now, it’s such a beautiful and peaceful getaway, and we love the beauty of Acadia! Aaron and Karen are fabulous hosts amd wonderful people. They are available to help whether you forgot to print your park pass beforehand or you’re looking for a new trail to try out. We truly love our time there and look forward to returning in years to come!

This was the most amazing vacation I have ever had, it was a great and quiet environment w/ everything you need! And you right at the national park and tourist attractions

Our stay at the Arcadia Yurts was amazing! The Yurt and grounds were beautiful, and Aaron and Karen were wonderful hosts, checking in to make sure we had everything we need. We'll definitely be returning for a longer stay!
